- ZFZoltan FSep 28, 20255.0I had a fantastic experience at this Advance Auto Parts. Earlier in the day, I picked up brake pads from a different location, but they gave me the wrong part. When I came here to Advance Auto Parts in Norwood, Jose, the assistant manager, was outstanding. He quickly fixed the issue, made sure I had the right part, and showed that he truly cared about helping.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
